Pressure on Dak– Dak Prescott is not the NFL MVP. He shouldn’t even be in contention. He’s done just enough for the Cowboys and their ability to play to his strengths and hide his inconsistencies has been tremendous, but he’s still a rookie. If the Lions pass rush can somehow find a way to make Dak uncomfortable, he’s just like any other rookie quarterback. If they allow him time to gauge the field and make short throws and let him pick up first downs with his legs, it’s going to be a long day for the Lions defense.

Don’t let Zeke break the rushing record– Unlike Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott isn’t a fraud. He’s one of the two best running backs in the NFL, and I don’t have a lot of confidence in a Lions team that gave up 114 yards on the ground to a Giants team ranked 30th in the league in rushing. It will be up to front seven of the Lions to keep Zeke in front of them and prevent him from breaking out for huge runs. The tackling will have to be sure, and the swarming will have to be quick.

Can Stafford give the Cowboys the finger? – Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is still dealing with torn tendons and dislocation of his middle finger. Stafford struggled last week vs the Giants, but there is more reason for Lions fans to be hopeful Stafford can return to MVP former in a climate controlled stadium against a weaker secondary than they faced a week ago. Stafford has had some of his most memorable games against his hometown Dallas Cowboys, let’s hope he can add another great memory Monday night.
